A Hand Tool Set for Balcony Gardens

Container gardens do not need a shed. A trowel, a narrow transplanter, and a small cultivator cover repotting herbs and loosening soil in a balcony box.

The set is right for potting mix and raised beds. It is the wrong tool for breaking hard ground. Rinse soil off the metal and hang them so they are not left in a wet saucer.

What works

  • Three tools cover container gardening
  • Grips stay usable with wet hands
  • Hanging hole for a rail hook

What to know

  • Too light for packed clay
  • The cultivator bends if you lever with it
